Re: A question for Terezinha

I hope you don't mind me personally reaching out again. This is urgent and I hope you can help. As you read this, we’re funding the only food aid available for thousands of families in parts of Sudan. We’re reviving farmlands and rushing emergency aid into Gaza. And we’re fuelling a court case against one of the worst oil pipelines on the planet. So I’m making a special appeal -- asking millions of Avaaz members to help rapidly scale this life-saving work, because it directly affects how much we can do in the critical months ahead. Terezinha, you are one of Avaaz's most active members. Now can you take the next step and become a regular donor? I'm asking you to help fund the protests, direct action, research, and advocacy that we believe will change the world in 2026. When our leaders bury their heads in the sand, and far-right tyrants bomb our world to bits, your support enables us to show up with real power. We cannot do it without you. A regular donation doesn't need to be big -- but consistent support will make a massive difference. If you can, chip in now to power Avaaz:

URGENT: She could die in prison

Nobel peace laureate Narges Mohammadi could die in prison. After brutal beatings, a hunger strike, and now a suspected heart attack, she's been rushed to hospital in critical condition – but without massive pressure, she could be dragged straight back behind bars. Sign now to demand her urgent release — before it's too late. Narges Mohammadi risked everything to defend women’s rights and stop horrific executions in Iran. Now her life is in danger. After years of imprisonment, brutal beatings and abuse, Narges has been rushed to hospital, her chest screaming with pain after a suspected heart attack. Her family fears she could be sent back to prison before she gets the long-term care she urgently needs. But we have a rare moment to push for her freedom: Iran is trying to stabilize a fragile ceasefire, and key governments can press for Narges’ medical leave as a show of goodwill during peace talks – before it's too late. Add your name now and when our call is massive, we’ll push governments to demand immediate and unconditional medical leave for Narges — and freedom for all Iran’s political prisoners:

Happening now: Sanctions on Israel

URGENT – Israel’s latest actions in Lebanon and Palestine have finally forced EU leaders to decide on sanctions. NOW is the moment to act. Send a direct message to the leaders of Italy, France, and Germany: For months, Europe has buried its head in the sand as Netanyahu’s violence unleashed in Palestine. Now, with Israel’s latest invasion and bombardment of Lebanon, that position is becoming impossible to sustain. EU leaders will finally meet today to decide whether to impose economic sanctions. Spain is leading the way -- but even Israel’s closest allies such as France, Italy and Germany are under growing pressure to act. This is a turning point. More than a million of us have already spoken out -- now let's focus the pressure on the key blockers. Send your personal message on X or in email and share widely:
